EEBC Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH)
Industry Action Group Meeting!
Tuesday, July 15, 2025
3:30 - 5:00 pm (in person)
Join us for our next meeting of the new HPWH Industry Action Group!
We’ll be sharing outcomes from a recent meeting EEBC facilitated with Xcel Energy’s HPWH team and leading HPWH manufacturers Bradford White, AO Smith, and Rheem, to help ensure best practices are included in Xcel’s upcoming HPWH Midstream Rebate Design August RFP. We want to get your input and ideas about the next steps that will encourage these HPWH manufacturers to bring their midstream rebate marketing and training budgets to Colorado.
Come to the meeting to discuss the fallout from the Xcel Energy “Pause” such as limited advance notice of changes, the corrections process, and guarantees of quick rebate reimbursement. We’ll discuss your challenges and talk about what we can do to make rebates easier to use and faster to pay out, and how to lower the risk for reimbursements and help you make money.
Other topics will include:
- Update of state HVAC licensing
- Update on third-party aggregators as distributor and contractor partners
- Q3 and Q4 priorities we’re working on, including:
-
- Quantifying the economic impact on your business of the 2024 Xcel Energy Pause.
- Preparing statistics for Xcel’s 2027-28 DSM Plan Settlement Process using your testimonials and input.
- Identifying critical actions we can take in response to the Pause and the resulting 2025 rebate processing standards.
We’re looking forward to an informative, productive meeting. Join the discussion with EEBC members’ Johnstone Supply-Denver, Bosch, Vista Sales, KM Sales, and TM Sales who have volunteered as Action Group Co-chairs and will lead this HPWH Action Group.
